About Cryptic Callouts
Cryptic Callouts is my first LSPDFR callout pack, developed for Grand Theft Auto V Legacy.
What started as a small hobby project has grown into a pack of 26 custom callouts. My aim is to bring more variety to patrols through fast-paced incidents, different suspect behaviours and situations that don’t always end the same way.
Version 5.0.0 adds six new action callouts, custom dispatch audio support for those incidents and optional conversations that you can progress through using subtitles.

Features
26 callouts, covering robberies, violent incidents, disturbances, pursuits and requests for officer assistance.
Randomised participants, weapons, behaviours and outcomes across supported scenarios.
Foot and vehicle pursuits.
Suspect surrender, resistance, escape and combat outcomes.
Hostage negotiations and release scenarios.
Officer assistance and pursuit backup.
Configurable racer counts for Illegal Street Racing.
Custom dispatch audio.
Optional NPCAI integration for scene participant conversations.
Y subtitle conversations, available with NPCAI enabled or disabled.
Individual callout enable and disable settings.
Configurable spawn distances and interaction keys.
Shared entity tracking and scene cleanup.
Features and available outcomes vary between callouts.
Conversations
You can use NPCAI to speak with supported scene participants, or press Y to progress through their account using subtitles.
Subtitle conversations work without NPCAI installed and remain available when NPCAI is enabled. Each press advances one line, so you can read at your own pace.
Move within 4.5 metres of an available participant to speak. People actively shooting or sitting inside vehicles cannot be interviewed through this system.

Installation
Extract the release into your main Grand Theft Auto V Legacy directory, following the included folder structure.
The plugin and configuration file belong in:
Grand Theft Auto V Legacy\plugins\LSPDFR\
Preserve the included audio folder structure when installing the custom dispatch recordings.
For detailed installation instructions, visit the Cryptic Mods Documentation.
Configuration and Controls
The configuration file is located at:
Grand Theft Auto V Legacy\plugins\LSPDFR\CrypticCallouts.ini
You can enable or disable individual callouts, adjust spawn distances, configure racer counts and change supported interaction settings.
Default controls:
Y — Start or continue a subtitle conversation
J — Callout-specific dialogue or negotiation
K — Callout-specific commands
H — Clear a resolved callout
End — Manually end the current callout
The available J and K actions depend on the incident. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Known Issues
Some players have reported participants spawning inside locked buildings. This remains under investigation, and version 5.0.0 does not include an interior accessibility fix.
Please report the callout name and location if you encounter this. A screenshot and the relevant RagePluginHook log can help me identify the affected spawn.
Development
This is still a hobby project, and building it has been a learning experience. I’m continuing to improve the existing callouts, address reported problems and add scenarios that fit the pack’s fast-paced style.
Detailed feedback helps me understand what happens during real patrols and where further work is needed.

Short Description
AI disclosure
The author has disclosed that AI tools were used in creating the following aspects of this file:
- Description
- Images
- Mod and Mod Content (Substantial)
Cryptic Callouts began as my own project, but AI has played a substantial role in its development. Claude wrote the v3.0.0 rewrite while I was focused on work, and ChatGPT assisted with the v4.0.0 rewrite, NPCAI integration, debugging and documentation. I directed the project, chose which changes to include and tested the gameplay, but I do not want to present the AI-assisted code as entirely hand-written by me.
